FAQ Dune: Awakening Schematic Chest Runs

What are schematic chests in Dune: Awakening?

Schematic chests contain high-tier crafting blueprints and armor pieces that can significantly enhance your loadout.

Where can I find schematic chests in Dune: Awakening?

You can find schematic chests in PvE and PvP zones across Arrakis. One of the most efficient routes is through Vermilion's Gap, which includes eight PvE chests and one PvP chest, all accessible within a 12 15 minute rotation.

What kind of loot can I get from schematic chests?

Loot from schematic chests in Dune: Awakening includes:

• Rare armor sets, such as the Oathbreaker Heavy Set, which is confirmed to drop from dungeon-type schematic chests in reasonably contested zones.
• Weapons, including Fila's Regret, a unique burst-fire battle rifle schematic found specifically in PvP-focused chest events like Wreck of the Pallas

Loot quality by zone:

• PvP chests (e.g., in Deep Desert or contested POIs) generally offer higher-tier loot, including unique schematics, vehicle parts, and rare armor because these zones are designed as high-risk, high-reward.
• PvE chests tend to contain more common drops, such as standard weapon and armor schematics, crafting materials, and fewer unique-tier items. While rare schematics can still appear, they are significantly more frequent in PvP environments
